[cobalt-users] backup

["Ray Yon" <ryon12@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am sure this has been discussed before, but I need to throw it our for
discussion again.

I am leasing a RaQ3 from a company that is very remote from my location.  In
other words, I don't have physical access to the machine.  The company does
not provide any means of backup accept leasing another server to backup to.
That seems a little expensive for a backup system.

I have high speed access to the web and would like to back up the entire
server on a regular basis.  I have attempted to use the backup system in the
RaQ3 GUI, but I don't think it works the way I want.   In fact, I haven't
figured out how to get it to work at all.

Here's what I need.. A reliable backup system that can back up the entire
hard drive on a nightly basis via the Internet.  If I can backup everything
to a my personal computer here, that's fine.  I can then dump my hard drive
to tape or Jazz Drive.  Either scenario is cool.

I have databases on many domains that change literally on an hourly basis.
Losing a customer database can cost my clients a lot of potential business.
The backup system must be automated, secure and reliable.

Someone please come up with a good suggestion for me.



Thank You
